Arts festival a spectrum of music, arts and kooky talks

The latest program for the Spectrum Now Festival, on in Sydney from March 1 and 16, has just been released. The festival is one of a number of arts festivals that are reinvigorating Sydney city precincts and getting locals and guests out and about in the vibrant city.

The program’s cultural ambassadors are a group of all star Austrlian sweethearts in the fields of visual arts, music, stag and screen: Del Kathryn Barton (Art), Megan Washington (Music), David Campbell (Stage) and Charlie Pickering (Talks).

Performing in the Big Top @ The Domain are crowd drawing artists and bands like: The Jesus and Mary Chain (UK), Birds of Tokyo, Calexico (USA), popular SBS TV show RocKwiz Live, Augie March, Missy Higgins and Jonathan Boulet.

Alongside the music line-up is a collection of free entertainment and arts events over the 11 nights and plenty of opportunities to drink, eat and even learn a thing or two.

MiNDFOOD’s top event picks:

Big Top @ The Domain – March 3 to 13.

Robert Bose’s Balloon Chain, a floating helium sculpture made from dozens of latex balloons.

Pillow Talk, celebrated creative couples talk intimately about their lives together. Couples include David and Kristin Williamson, David and Lisa Campbell, Richard Tognetti and Satu Vänskä.
